The 9 type has the cross-lines obsolete and the spots above 

 inner margin larger and without white filling. It is possible that this 

 species has been described from Mexico but we have been unable to 

 find any description that fits it; it is close to the variety perolivata 

 Hist, but differs in the sinuate t. p. line of primaries which is distinctly 

 curved in at costa ; the same line on the underside of secondaries is 

 straight, not crenulate as in perolivata. Besides the types we have 

 two additional $ 's, one, originally from the Hulst Coll., simply labelled 

 Texas, the other, received from the American Entomological Co., 

 labelled 'Florida', probably erroneously, the specimen being doubtless 

 of Mexican origin. 



Sericosema viridirufaria incarnata form. $ nov. 



The 9 's of this species occur apparently in two color forms. 

 The typical form has the primaries green as in the $ sex ; in the 

 other form for which we propose the name incarnata the primaries 

 are a deep flesh-color crossed by the dark subterminal half-line as in 

 the typical form. Our types are 2 $ 's from Palmerlee, Ariz., 1 9 

 from Huachuca Mts., Ariz., and 1 $ from S. Arizona (Poling). 



Monroa (Cleora) interpunctata sp. nov. (PI. XXV, Fig. 9). 



$ antennae strongly bipectinate ; palpi and front black ; head between 

 antennae whitish ; thorax and abdomen gray, the latter unhanded ; wings rather 

 even smoky-gray, primaries with the cross-lines rather interrupted, black, very 

 oblique and parallel to each other ; t. a. and t. p. lines sharply angled below 

 costa but rather indistinct in this region, median line only distinct below the 

 cell, close to t. p. line ; a faint, waved, pale s. t. line, preceded by diffuse smoky 

 shading ; terminal black dots between the veins ; secondaries with a broad curved 

 smoky antemedian line and a narrow black postmedian line, bent below costa 

 but otherwise straight ; a faint waved s. t. line preceded by a fairly distinct dark 

 shade ; terminal dark dots as on primaries. Beneath unicolorous gray-white. 

 Expanse 31 mm. 



Habitat : Paradise, Cochise Co., Ariz. ; Chiricahua Mts., Ariz. (July,

This species is closely allied to quinquelinearia Pack, for which 

 species and plumosaria Pack. Warren has created the genus Monroa 

 (Nov. Zool. XI, p. 555, 1904). Apart from the practical lack of discal 

 dots (in one specimen very faintly visible on primaries) it may be dis- 

 tinguished by the terminal line being composed of dots, not continuous 

 as in quinquelinearia (PI. XXV, Fig. 8) and the lack of black banding 

 on the abdomen. The $ genitalia of the two species which we figure
